White House: DOJ 'should certainly look at' prosecuting James Comey

[Primemuscle]

Your gut feeling based on what you have read and heard is pretty limited, because you insulate yourself, so I don't think it's very reliable. 

We never know how any criminal case is going to turn out.  Anytime you put a decision in the hands of 12 strangers, anything can happen.  OJ walked.  Trump was convicted (of something).  Neither was the correct result.  But usually, what is supposed to happen does happen.  I really hope they get it right with Comey and convict him.

Despite your opinion, Comey remains innocent until proven guilty. It seems if his fate was up to you, he would already have been convicted. I do not think your gut feeling on this is very reliable.

All the late-night shows' ratings have been falling since 2015. In 2024-2025 Stephen Colbert had the highest total viewership with Jimmy Kimmel coming in second and Jimmy Fallon coming in third. So yes, a huge bunch of people did tune in to see Jimmy Kimmel's show, somewhere around 6.3 million viewers which was up from an average of 1.4 million viewers. No doubt his return show pulled in many people who will not become regular viewers. But no doubt some will. My point was and continues to be that thanks to his being taken off the air, his return show grew by 340%. FCC Chair Brendan Carr said in reference to suspending the Jimmy Kimmel show, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.”  Then Disney, ABC and affiliates suspended the Jimmy Kimmel show for less than a week before they saw the light and put the show back on. The public spoke and the public and Jimmy Kimmel won this battle. This is Karma.

You are right, I have no way of knowing if the charges against James Comey will be dismissed just as you have no way of knowing that they won't. This is because neither you nor I are legal experts, many of whom believe it will be dismissed for various reasons, including that the charges lack crucial details such as specific quotes from Comey's testimony that are alleged to be criminal lies. Also, the DOJ previously declined to prosecute the case against him because they found no evidence of Comey's willful intent to violate the law. But, regardless of whether there is a dismissal, acquittal, or conviction, there is likely to be appeals, prolonging the legal process. Therefore, it could be quite long time before either you or I or the rest of the world will know how this mess turns out.

Again, you are right that I do not know if the case will be dismissed but my gut feeling based on what I have read and heard is that it will be. And I also think whether it is or is not dismissed, many people will disagree with the outcome.

Except for Gutfeld.  His audience is growing - over 3 million right now.

If his fate was up to me, I would have him get indicted, tried by a jury of his peers, convicted, and sentenced to prison.  That innocent until proven guilty concept applies in court.  We're not in court.  We are all free to express an opinion on guilt or innocence, regardless of what the outcome of any criminal case might be.  People tend to throw that line out there when the person they have some kind of allegiance with is being prosecuted. 

And like I previously mentioned, the outcome of a criminal case doesn't mean the person didn't actually do what they were convicted of doing (or acquitted).  Sometimes people are wrongfully convicted, like the Trump case.  Sometimes people are improperly acquitted, like OJ.  Sometimes people who have clearly broken the law are never charged, like Hillary Clinton.

Remember when leftists and their media were constantly stating that Trump is innocent until proven guilty and didn't even utter a word before any court decision?

Yeah, me neither.

FYI, I have no allegiance to James Comey. In fact, I dislike that he chose On October 28, 2016, eleven days before the election to announce a FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, thus violating the long-standing Department of Justice policy against taking actions that could affect the outcome of an election, which this very likely did.

There needs to be accountability for those who legit attempted to oust a duly elected president, so this deters it from ever happening again.

Russigate was an attempted coup, swept under the rug by a dishonest media, and TDS affected citizens.

Because they are hypocrites.

I agree.
